I make over a million a year. I could work for a year - maybe even 6 months - and make more money than you will ever see in your entire life. More money than your parents ever made.

Why am I able to earn this much? Because I'm smarter than you. I'm more dedicated than you. I worked harder than you. I didn't scam anyone, nor exploit them, nor harm people in the pursuit of money. I'm simply good at what I do. In return I'm at the top of my field making millions.
Of course I feel smug.

I could retire right now if I wanted to. Anywhere I want, any time. You will be stuck waging just to scrape by for the rest of your life.
